The current study was to investigate the causal relationship model of lifestyle of health promotion with Core self-evaluations and spirituality in the work environment with the mediation of social intimacy, Time perspective and self-control in the personnel of Southern Oil Regions in the south. Complications and consequences of war are one of the most important psychological and psychiatry topics in the world, which have attracted the attention of relevant experts during different times. Among these, neurological and psychological complications are the most debilitating complications that have caused numerous problems for the people who were present in the war, for their families and the society. The effects of war remain in the wounded for years, and these effects leave significant damages on the individual and his family.MethodThe statistical population of this research included all the veterans of over 25% in working in the Southern Oil Regions Company in 1400, of which 182 people were selected by voluntary method. Gathering information using health-enhancing lifestyle questionnaires by Walker et al. (1987), social self-evaluations (CSES) (2003), spirituality in the workplace (Milliman et al. 2003), self-control by Tani et al. (2004), Time perspective-ZTPI (Zimbardo, 1999), social intimacy (Costa and McCrae, 1992).ResultsStructural equation analysis method was used to analyze the data. The results of data analysis showed that the causal model of the research had a good fit. All direct paths of personality self-evaluations and spirituality in the work environment with health promoting style were significant. The direct paths of mediated social intimacy, time perspective and self-control were also significant with health promotion style. There is a causal relationship between core self-evaluation and the health-promoting lifestyle of veteran employees through social intimacy: The available results indicate that there is a causal relationship between core self-evaluation and the health-promoting lifestyle of veteran employees through social intimacy. Core self-evaluation provides resources that activate beliefs such as self-efficacy and self-esteem in the individual. If veterans have such high self-evaluations, they are more directed towards close interactions with the community and extensive social support. form and participate more in group activities, this can guide them in choosing a social and healthier lifestyle.DiscussionAlso, social intimacy, time perspective and self-control cannot mediate the causal relationship between time perspective and spirituality in the work environment with health promoting style in a significantly way (p<0.001). According to the findings of the research, it can be concluded that the veterans who are in the company of oil-rich areas, despite the unpleasant incidents they experienced and suffered injuries because of it, but these potentially stressful conditions, their lifestyle and health. Has not caused serious damage. This immunity of their lifestyle depends on their evaluations and cognitive attitudes and the spirituality and relationships of the work environment and the organization in which they are active, so that on the one hand, the central self-evaluation of the veterans believes in them. It provides them with the ability and being equipped with psychological tools, and on the other hand, this belief and cognitive and psychological equipment is strengthened by the work environment.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of compassion focused therapy and positivist psychology with well-being approach on alexithymia, adaptive behavior and adherence to treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. The research design was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with control group. The sample size included 45 patients with type 2 diabetes who were selected by purposive sampling. Of these, 15 were assigned to the experimental group of compassion focused therapy, 15 to the experimental group of positivist psychology with well-being approach and 15 to the control group by simple random sampling. To collect research data, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (Bagby et al., 1994), the Psycho-social Adjustment with Illness Scale (Derogatis, 1990) and the Adherence Questionnaire (Modanloo, 2013) were used. The compassion focused experimental group received 8 sessions of two-hour intervention and the experimental group of positive psychology with well-being approach received 8 two-hour sessions, too. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that both therapeutic approaches in the post-test phase had a significant effect on alexithymia, adaptive behavior and adherence to treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two intervention methods in each of the dependent variables. Based on the findings, it can be said that the application of both therapeutic approaches is effective in reducing alexithymia and increasing the level of adaptive behavior as well as adherence to treatment.
